Summary:
This lesson is intended to help you assess how well students are able to interpret distance–time graphs and, in particular, to help you identify students who:
- Interpret distance–time graphs as if they are pictures of situations rather than abstract representations of them.
- Have difficulty relating speeds to slopes of these graphs.
